    In a \[\Delta \mathbf{ABC},\] \[\mathbf{BCA}=\mathbf{9}{{\mathbf{0}}^{{}^\circ }}\] and CD is perpendicular to AB If \[\mathbf{AD}=\mathbf{4}\]cm and \[\mathbf{BD}=\mathbf{9}\]cm, then the value of CD will be

    A)  \[\sqrt{18}\] cm            

    B)  \[\sqrt{20}\] cm

    C)  8 cm                           

    D)  6 cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d):- In \[\Delta ABC\] and \[\Delta ACD\], \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{4}{AC}\] \[\therefore \]      \[A{{C}^{2}}=4\times 13=52\] In \[\Delta ABC\] and \[\Delta BCD\], \[\frac{BC}{AB}=\frac{9}{BC}\Rightarrow B{{C}^{2}}=9\times 13=117\] Now,   \[=\frac{1}{C{{D}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{A{{C}^{2}}}+\frac{1}{B{{C}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{52}+\frac{1}{117}\] \[=\frac{9+4}{13\times 4\times 9}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{C{{D}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{36}\] \[\therefore \] \[CD=6\]cm
